about Eva

In 2008 Eva Sippl founded Herbucha, LLC, now home of Eva's Herbucha and Eva's Cultured Candy. The first 9 plus years Eva and her crew dedicated their time to brew high quality small-batch kombucha.

Over time however, it started to bother Eva that she has to throw away so many SCOBYs although they are a perfectly good food item. She started to produce kombucha starter kits for DYI folks but this still only made a dent.

Fall 2017 she finally had an idea to create candy with the SCOBYs and after a few weeks of experimenting she figured out a way to create delicious raw organic treats.

what is a scoby?

"SCOBY" is an acronym for Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast. A SCOBY is the living home for the bacteria and yeast that transform sweet tea into tangy, fizzy kombucha. Kombucha cultures (SCOBYs) are occasionally also referred to as mushrooms (however they are not fungi), mothers, cultures, kombucha babies… the list goes on. The culture itself is scientifically referred to as a zoogleal mat. The thickness of a SCOBY is determined by the acidity of the tea during the fermentation and how long it has been left to develop.
